Cuff Links

    Evening all....Not sure if this is exactly the right place for the post but hoping it'll do....

    I'm getting married in June and need to get the groomsmen a couple of things to say thanks. I like the idea of getting some cuff links and have found a set that would suit one of the lads but really want a hurling related pair as well.

    I'd like them to be of hurls crossed, a hurl and sliothar or something along those lines but can't find what I'm after. When searching here I did see someone posted a similar q a few years ago but don't know how that ended.

    Any links to sites would be really appreciated.

    You should try www.etsy.com. While you mightn't find any of hurls already made, you might be able to look for someone who would make a set for you.

    A search brought up this article

    http://www.independent.ie/national-news/gaa-fans-get-chance-to-wear-heart-on-sleeve-2993707.html
    IT IS the discreet way of wearing the county colours -- new GAA jewellery allowing fans to show their subtle support without breaking any dress code.

    Wearing a baggy jersey may be de rigueur on match days, but doing the same at work or in a fancy restaurant could earn you a citation from the fashion police.

    But as the 2012 GAA season gets under way, diehard fans will be able to proudly support their counties anytime, anywhere using the 'Love Your County' range.

    Football and hurling fans will be able to eat, drink, sleep, shower and even hit the sack with Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy.

    The iconic championship trophies are being replicated in miniature sterling silver pendants and charms that can be worn around the neck or as bracelets.

    The collection also includes sterling silver, silver-plated and stainless steel charms, pendants and dog tags depicting official county colour jerseys, miniature footballs, hurleys and football boots.

    There are also county-themed leather bracelets for children and teenagers and more subtle cufflinks and tie-clips embossed with the GAA logo for the corporate fan.

    The website http://www.gaajewellery.com/ doesn't seem to be up and running yet but maybe you could get in touch with them?

    I knew this was the place to ask!

    Can't see too clearly when zoomed in but think GAA Jewellery will be the place to go to once it's fully up and running - I'll keep checking it regularly.

    Thanks to both of you.

    There's also the Weddings, Marriage and Civil Partnership forum, someone there might have been looking for the same thing.

    Not sure if it's something you'd be interested in getting them but I have 2 pairs that people always comment on when I wear them. A silver pair which are dipped old 5p coins and a gold pair which are dipped old 1p coins.

    I can try and find out where I got them if you want?

    Thanks for the offer matey but mind is set on the hurls theme - have emailed GAA Jewellery and they go on sale in April so should be good for the wedding in June!
